US EditionWaqf Act Row: Centre has filed ‘false affidavit,' Muslim body tells SC ahead of crucial hearing. What is the charge?
- The Supreme Court will hear on May 5 the challenge to the Waqf Act, 2025, involving the Union government's 1,332-page affidavit defending it.
- The dispute emerged when the central government reported a 116% rise in registered Waqf properties following the 2013 amendment, a figure that the main representative body of Muslim clerics has challenged as baseless and misleading.
- The AIMPLB accused the Centre of providing inaccurate information in the Supreme Court and requested that the officer from the Ministry of Minority Affairs responsible for the affidavit be held accountable.
- The Centre highlighted in its affidavit that, since 2013, there has been an increase of approximately 20.9 lakh acres in waqf land, bringing the total area to over 39 lakh acres.
- The dispute suggests significant disagreement over data accuracy, raising questions about the amended Act's impact and the registration process of Waqf properties.
